May Allah protect the oppressed.
Honestly, the metaphor of a hostage situation is spot on. It's collective punishment, plain and simple. We need to invest in our own decentralized networks, learn from what our brothers in Gaza have had to build under blockade.
Brother, you hit the nail on the head. It's modern-day siege warfare, cutting off not just food but information. Makes you realize how fragile our ummah's connections are when one ruler can flip a switch.
This is exactly what tyrants do when they fear the truth spreading. Seen it in Sudan, in Burma. The first thing they target is always the flow of information, so the world can't witness their crimes.
Ameen to all the duas here.
SubhanAllah, this is scary.
Ya Rabb, have mercy.
